This easy Mediterranean inspired Cannellini Bean Salad is made with canned beans and a few other flavorful ingredients… in only five minutes! It’s the perfect no-cook Vegetarian side dish for gatherings and busy weeknights. Make a bowl today!
Say goodbye to boring bean salads! The flavors in this cannellini bean salad are so simple, but just absolutely wonderful. It’s got creamy white beans, juicy tomatoes, bright herbs, rich olive oil, and just the right amount of acid from the red wine vinegar.
Together, the Mediterranean inspired flavors are bright, and the finished dish is rustic, inviting, and just downright cozy. That’s a lot to say about a bean salad!! Serve with crusty bread, simple grilled fish, meatballs, or marinated chicken breasts.
This is one bean salad that’ll convert even those who aren’t thrilled with vegetarian dishes or beans. Even my meat-and-potatoes husband took one bite and said, “Oh! Wow! This is really good!” And then he had a second helping.
This salad is made mostly with pantry and household staples, but my favorite thing about it is that the salad and the dressing are made and tossed together in the same bowl, so there’s no extra dirty dishes or work for you!
